COMING - COMING - COMING

FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 2007

Next Friday we will be launching the book -

"AND BILLIONS WILL DIE"

The book deals with subjects like global warming, population
increases, food shortages, economic collapse, fuel shortages,
global dimming, safe drinking water shortages and many other
topics.

A full year of intensive research has revealed more problems for
mankind that any government wants you to know. See for yourself
what your own personal life will be like. Find out what it will be
like to go to the grocery store only to find empty shelves. See what
it will be like when what food you can find costs twenty times what
you pay today.

Have you ever heard of global dimming? Do you know it is silently
and systematically reducing our food supply? Do you know of that
wheat blight that is taking out the world's wheat crops, further reducing
our food supply?

Are you aware our oil supplies are peaking just at the time when our
population is increasing so much the demand can never be met?

Do you know the government already has plans for shutting down
facilities like transportation systems and public buildings like schools
and hospitals?

Do you know these conditions are all converging into a
relatively short time frame and are likely to hit all at once?

The book deals with the conditions in which all will live and shows you
how to survive. We have set up a web site that deals with how to spot
the timing of such things and what you can do to keep you and
your family safe.

Learn that "GLOBAL WARMING" is the least of man's problems and
you will see they keep that front and center so you will not see the
other things coming at us.

Watch for it next Friday. This is one book that is a must read to
prepare you for the future. It can save your life.

Is the Dow an accurate gauge of the market?

In Wall Street lingo, what is a "falling knife"?

ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -

--------------

What was the original name of Pepsi?

Would you believe: "Brad's Drink"? Pharmacist Caleb Bradham
invented the soda and sold it at his drugstore soda
fountain. He changed its name to "Pepsi-Cola" in 1898 when
it became popular. The new name came from one of the main
ingredients in the drink - pepsin (a substance used to
relieve indigestion).

Just what IS the Dow?

What does that mean, exactly? The Dow - short for Dow Jones
Industrial Average - is an index of the average closing
prices of thirty blue-chip stocks. There are thousands of
stocks on the market, of course, but these thirty are used
to gauge and forecast the health of the overall economy.
Charles Henry Dow, a nineteenth century financial
journalist, is the one who invented this system to track
fluctuations in the stock market. When Charles was doing it,
there were only eleven stocks on his list, most of them
railroads. He added up the closing price of one share of
each of the eleven stocks, then divided by eleven to find
the average. Dow added nineteen industrial company stocks to
the list in 1928. New companies are only added now if a
stock already on the list goes bankrupt or merges.

are like crickets. When they rub their abdomens, the sound
made can be heard from 1300 feet.

OPTIMIZE LIFE NOW™ ... with Dr. Rhoberta Shaler

------------------------------------

The Art Of Questioning Yourself Well

Have you ever heard someone say, "I'll just have to accept
my fate"? I'll bet you have. Did you find it an empowering
thing to hear? Of course, there are several possible
interpretations of the remark. It could mean that the person
believes they have done everything in their power to bring
about the outcome they desire. Then they are willing to
accept their fate. On the other extreme, it could mean, "I
have no control at all. I'll have to take what life hands
out to me." It is the latter that saddens me. How about you?

We all ask ourselves a lot of questions, don't we? What is
the quality of the questions you ask yourself? Do you say
things like, "Why me? Why does this always happen to me?"
or "Why did she say that?" or "What did I do wrong?" These
are not high quality questions.

High-quality questions move you forward immediately. They
focus on positive direction and indicate an understanding of
what's possible. Here are a few: "How can I turn this
around?" or "How can I make it work?" "How can I utilize
this?" or "How can I use this to empower myself and others?"
The answers to these questions increase your personal power
and your power to change the world around you.

The quality of your life can relate directly to the quality
of the questions you ask yourself. Albert Einstein said,
"The important thing is to not stop questioning." What kind
of questions do you wrestle with? There are many ways to ask
the question, "What now?", aren't there? It can be very
positive and possibility oriented, or, it can be negative,
anticipating another problem. It is often not just the words
you choose but the intention behind them. Be careful. This
will take some practice for those of you who know that your
questioning could use a quality adjustment!

Keep a small book handy and make a note of the typical
questions you ask yourself during the day. Do they move you
forward or do they reinforce your sense of powerlessness?
When a question shows up in your head, deliberately re-state
it as a high-quality question. This habit will change your
view of life quickly.

The Ins And Outs of Breathing
Every breath you take is vital to your survival
(This is not just discussion of the obvious - look!)
PART 10 of 10


Can you see how all this connects to your immune system? Your
body's natural and immediate reaction to any intruder is to
activate the inflammatory process. But if this "draw" on the
system is long-term it will really impair your immune system.
And a weakened immune system leaves you open to all sorts of
health problems. Can you now see how different the aging process
is from and inflammatory response of your immune system? The
aging process has no harmful effects on the airways except to
slow down all the functions gradually. The inflammatory process
has huge health implications.

So the key in truly helping yourself would be to rebuild your
natural antioxidant defense system (inflammatory) and natural
immune system back to optimal levels. The use of appropriate
nutritional supplements and a lot of common sense can best
accomplish this goal. Drink lot so fluids to help keep the
mucous membranes moist and thin (healthy). Stay away from things
that you know make you cough. Wear a face mask if you have to be
around people who may increase your risk for infections. Keep
humidity up. Air conditioners tend to dry out your nasal
passages. Check to make sure it always has clean water in it.
Make sure whatever you use, isn't growing bacteria in the water.
Change it often. Wash your hands often. Eat healthy foods. Avoid
foods you suspect.

It goes without saying to try and discover the underlying
irritant. Don't just accept the fact you have to live like this
for the rest of your life. You don't.

It is important to remember that the immune response is vital
for protecting the body from foreign invaders. Your best effort
must go to keeping it strong and healthy. Asthma and allergies
are among the most common health problems. As many as 50 million
Americans are afflicted with asthma, hay fever or other
allergy-related conditions.

Now that you understand how the body protects you by using
different facets of your immune system, it makes sense to
protect it. Having a good understanding of how your body reacts
to "intruders" helps you to make informed decisions. And if you
need to consult a doctor, your communication will be much more
practical and rewarding. Commit now to ensuring that your body
is healthy and strong and can continue to help you maintain a
high quality of life.

PERCEPTIONS . . . by Ken Darby

-----------------------DISCLAIMER

Some around me think I am an opinionated old goat.
Whether that be true or not I will sometimes, in this column,
talk about things people don't like to talk about - or don't want
out in the open. Take it all with a grain of salt.

Do your own thinking, and don't accept the things I say as
gospel. They are only mental meanderings from a simple soul.

-----------------------END DISCLAIMER

What On Earth Is Hapening In India?

I find this hard to believe but yesterday I read a report
where one in two children in India are abused, both male and
female. That is a huge number.

Apparently fathers, brothers, uncles all play a role in this
and it has been going on for years, such that the mothers
were also abused. It appears as if it is a way of life
there. If not, then someone please tell me.

Then today I read a report by the BBC about women, young and
old, disappearing and never returning, only to be found in
the sex trade somewhere.

These women are recruited from refugee camps or parents are
given some money and told the child will send home money.

They have been seen in porno films and found on the streets
of big cities. Additionally they are sold to rich houses
where they are used for all manner of sexual acts.

I presume with this being so widespread in India it is
equally occurring in other countries as well.

I tell you now, folks, you best get this new book I have
written. I know you don’t like the title but it will tell
you some “EVEN MORE INCONVENIENT TRUTHS”.

Is there anyone out there who does not think this world is
in for a cleansing? All the circumstances are falling into
place like bricks building a wall.

I cannot accept what is going on in India. I am not a
moralist, I am not saying this because of morality. I am
saying the great law will kill mankind because mankind so
foolishly overlooks it. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap” Your
chickens will surely come home to roost.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?

Kettle of Fish: How did we come to call a muddled situation
a "pretty kettle of fish"?

A very popular Scottish picnic is called a "kettle of fish"
- from the fact that the picnickers catch salmon or trout in
the streams of the countryside and cook them in a large
"kettle" for the main course of the picnic meal. We have a
similar phrase - "pretty picnic" - with a similar meaning.
Since "picnics" are seldom "pretty" and often do not operate
smoothly, these terms both mean the opposite of what they
say.

THINK ABOUT THIS TODAY!

Some people strengthen the society just by being the
kind of people they are.

HA! HA! HA!

Everyone should have a spouse, because there are a
number of things that go wrong that one can't blame on
the government
